BALTIMORE – UMBC women's soccer used a pair of goals over
the final 3:25, including the game-winner with 1:00 to go from
freshman forward Amanda Dailey
(Howell, N.J./Freehold Township, Monmouth), to complete a 2-1
come-from-behind victory against Hartford in Thursday night's Pink
Game at Retriever Soccer Park.

UMBC (10-5-2, 5-2-0 AE) hits double-digit wins for the first
time since 2001 and reaches five victories for the first time since
joining the league in 2003. With one game remaining in the regular
season, UMBC has a chance to clinch a first round bye with a
victory on Sunday, marking its highest America East finish ever.
With a bye on Sunday, Hartford concludes the regular season with a
10-5-3 overall record and 5-3-0 in conference play.

With the game scoreless after 82 minutes of action the game
looked destined for overtime, but it was the league's top point
getter in America East play Chanel Johnson that connected on a shot
from a tough wide right angle to put Hartford out in front 1-0.

The Retrievers kept the pressure on and it paid off on a corner
kick from junior back Melissa Hummel
(Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown East), that red-shirt junior Jessy Brown
(Plantation, Fla./American Heritage) headed in for her sixth goal
of the season to knot the game at one with 3:25 remaining.

Just 2:25 later, Dailey struck, gathering a cross from junior
back Morgan
Taylor (Severna Park, Md./Severna Park) and taping in the
game-winner.

Senior goalkeeper Lauren Kadet
(Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas) finished with four saves in the
contest, while reigning America East Rookie of the Week Jessica
Jurg registered three.

Both teams had their opportunities in the opening half, with the
Johnson finding herself a step in front of the defense, but Kadet
knocked down her shot to keep the game scoreless 12:23 into the
contest.

The Hawks had two more close calls, the first coming on a scrum
in front of the net, but Kadet was able to get a hand on the ball
and sophomore back Nikki Boretti
(Crofton, Md./Archbishop Spalding) took care of the clear. A free
kick ball by freshman back Katie Connolly tipped off the head of
graduate back Amanda Hamilton and landed in front of an open junior
midfielder Morgan Berry.

UMBC concludes the regular season with Senior Day on Sunday,
Oct. 27 when it plays host to New Hampshire. Game time is set for 1
p.m. at Retriever Soccer Park, with seniors Stephanie
Smith (Severna Park, Md./Archbishop Spalding) and Lauren Kadet
(Oakville, Ontario./St. Thomas Aquinas) being honored prior to
first kick.
